This article offers a new perspective on a body of literature that has been growing since the modern concept of “statelessness” became a pressing concern of diplomats and the displaced alike more than a century ago: it studies the “voices” of the stateless as captured in the archival documents of the organizations designed to deal with refugees through the lens of family and kinship care. This will help us to gain an understanding of how stateless refugees and the officials, administrators and humanitarians who assisted them navigated and negotiated the kinds of care requested, needed, withheld, or provided, and that have been captured in the documents coming out of these processes. By positioning care as relational and embedded within historical documents, this contribution offers glimpses of the physical remnants of the processes that took shape between the various actors. From these explorations, it follows that the distinction between anonymous care, as provided by humanitarian or state organizations, and personal care may not have been so clear-cut: sometimes helpers and those being helped turn out both to be Nansen passport holders. The focus on family and kin moreover allows to move beyond the institutional focus on individuals and to understand statelessness and displacement as an experience of families and communities instead.

亲属关怀的痕迹：国际联盟和阿罗尔森档案馆中南森护照持有者文件的初步发现

本文为自一个多世纪前现代“无国籍”概念成为外交官和流离失所者的迫切关注以来一直在增长的文献提供了一个新的视角：它研究了被捕获的无国籍者的“声音”在旨在通过家庭和亲属照顾的角度处理难民问题的组织的档案文件中。这将帮助我们了解无国籍难民以及帮助他们的官员、行政人员和人道主义人员如何处理和协商所请求、需要、扣留或提供的护理类型，这些信息已记录在这些文件中流程。通过将护理定位为关系性的并嵌入历史文献中，这一贡献提供了对不同参与者之间形成的过程的物理残留的一瞥。从这些探索中可以看出，人道主义或国家组织提供的匿名护理与个人护理之间的区别可能并不那么明确：有时，帮助者和被帮助者都是南森护照持有者。此外，对家庭和亲属的关注可以超越对个人的制度关注，并将无国籍和流离失所理解为家庭和社区的一种经历。
